Competition for Driven Creatives

Are you a driven creative? Have your hard work and creative passion rewarded with a G-Technology G-Raid drive or a massive €5,000 towards your next project.

Unlike other creative competitions, you will be rewarded not just for the aesthetic qualities of your entry but also for the invention and drive which went into creating it. Submissions are encouraged across the fields of photography, music and filmmaking in both Professional and Amateur categories.

Prizes

Besides great prizes, including G-Technology G Raid drives and G Mobile drives for winners and runners-up in each category, the overall winner will receive a grant of 5,000 Euros to fund their next creative project. In addition the best entries will go on display at an exclusive exhibition at London’s Brick Lane Gallery in November 2010.
